SOM of the Jersey City police were

beavers. A workman wrote to the
mayor about it. The mayor said:
DEAR SIR: can only say, in an swer

liceme having been sent to Weehaw-

no direct control over the police of the
city. If l had, the men would not be

the coal monopolies centered here as
one Of oppression. There was no excuse

coal. They put up the price of coal and
put down the wages of the laborers that

cause thirty rhen in uniform, COM

The Blue Catfish as Game.

All my life have taken great delight in fishing, and have had the pleasure of landing many of the game fishes of our waters. Among those which have fur nished the most sport is the blue or chan mel cat. Of all the fish that I ever hooked it makes the hardest fight for it's life. It differs from them in this way, when struck leap out of the water aud rush through it with their mouths open, thus making it much easier to conquer and land them; while the catfish takes the hook in its mouth and starts for the bottom of the stream or lake with vim that will test the tackle of the best ex- pert. I have had more real sport with it than with any other fish l ever tackled. It is full of fight from the strike to the landing net, anl requires longer to bring it to hand than any other of its weight. --TofeI 0ad stiezm.

From 1,23S es- tablishments he has received complete or partial returns, al he reports that of these l ,238 strikes, 723 men were sue cessful, 379 unsuccessful, while the re- suit in 121 cases is still in doubt.
 the further statistics of strikes, as presented in Commissioner Peck's re- port, are interesting. The number of people employed in the establishments represented by the 1,23S strikes was 40, 8s3, of hom 90, ,096 went on stri e while Al, 787 remained at work. Of the strikers, 5,769 lost their places as the result of their acton. These figures do not include the losses of place by the striking employees of the Third avenue street railroad company.
 The total loss of wages by the strikes of 1886 is not compute by the Com missioner; but he states that the direct gain in increase of wages as the result of the 723 successful strikes amounted to $937.O79 There were 331 strikes for increase of pay, e44 of them succeeding and a7 failing On the other hand, of the 256 strikes for reduction of hours of labor, only 7l were successful.
